CONTACT SIDEBAR TILE

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer program products for tracking real-time communication data within a single contact tracking application (400) for diverse communication providers and applications (110). A global data store (150) is synchronized with real-time communication data (120), such as presence, status, unread messages, and unread notifications, from each application/provider (110). Real-time communication data (120) for contacts dynamically determined to be recent contacts is retrieved from the data store (150), based on properties such as a most recent communication time, a communication count, and the like. Real-time communication data corresponding to contacts identified as pinned contacts for which display of real-time communication data is preferred, also may be retrieved. A user interface (400) is generated for displaying the one or more recent and/or pinned contacts, which may vary in size based on the number of contacts identified as pinned contacts, from which a contact may be selected for real-time conversation or e-mail.
